I bought mine from Amazon 3 months ago for $180. So not sure where you are seeing those prices, sheesh.

The watches seem to start around 350 euros
I'll take a look on amazon :)
The exact one I got was: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0169MX7CK/ref=oh_aui_sear... which shows for me $199 US. I don't know the euro conversions though.
If you do actually purchase one, the screen protectors I got were: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L03TF7Y/ref=oh_aui_sear...
The Pebble watchface Time Orbit by Spectre Collie has the very same problem. I love the watchface looks, but if you tilt it, it decides to show other info such as date. It is a usability problem.
There's a rather large difference between the Vector and Pebble though. I checked various Vector watches and saw most at 500 USD, with one at 400 USD. So the cheapest Vector appears to be about 4 times more expensive than a Pebble 2 Classic. I don't know, that just doesn't seem like a fair comparison.
